Abstract
- The authors have recently experienced with a five years old female patient who had a cysticercosis under the superio-nasal bulbar conjunctiva. The case was not associated with any other systemic lesions elsewhere in the body. The cyst was surgically removed and the microscopic examination confirmed a well preserved cysticercus cellulosae. According to the previous reports, the cysticercosis occurs frequently in the ocular region. Although ocular cysticercosis is common, subconjunctival cysticercosis rarely been reported in Korea. A brief medical history of case and a review of the related reports are presented.
